Did you look at the linked thread?

It is a common misconception that LEDs are very directional.

Here is a link that might be useful: Led ucl continuation

Thanks Davidtay....
I looked at the link you sent me and I will show to my electrician...who will certainly hopefully understand more than I do......I am strictly a lay person when it comes to this.....need to have everything in plain English.....I gather from your answer that I am not right about led lighting.....There are fixtures there now (not led) that throw beautiful light but they don't work on a regular basis....they're going out of here......Boy am I lost...My fear is that I will replace them and hate the light......Yikes..

I DIYed a whole showroom full of Hafele LED tape lights, including uplighting, and in-cabinet lighting. It's easy, and it puts out plenty of light to highlight a backsplash, and to provide task lighting for the counter.

Live wire oak...did you mean strip lights? I went to Hafele website and do not see tape lights?
